Description of Application: Alabama Power Company seeks approval to replace turbine units 1 and 4 at the Lay Development, and turbine unit 2 at the Bouldin Development of the Coosa River Project. Specifically, at the Lay Development the licensee proposes to complete turbine refurbishment of the two turbines, stator coil replacement, wicket gate system rehabilitation, greaseless gate stem bushings installation, turbine and generator bearing refurbishment, and related component upgrades. For the Bouldin Development, the licensee proposes complete turbine refurbishment, stator coil replacement, wicket gate system rehabilitation or replacement, greaseless gate stem bushings installation, turbine and generator bearing refurbishment, and related component upgrades. The turbine unit modifications are expected to increase the turbine rating for each unit by approximately 4 megawatts (MW), as well as increase efficiency and annual generation. However, since the units are generator-limited, the installed capacity at the Lay and Bouldin developments will not change. The unit replacements at the Lay Development would provide approximately 13.6 percent increase in energy output, and the current full gate flow of 5,770 cubic feet per second (cfs) is expected to remain the same, plus or minus 15 percent. The unit replacement at the Bouldin Development would provide approximately 5 percent increase in energy output, and the current full gate flow of 9,600 cfs is expected to remain the same, plus or minus 15 percent.

    k. Description of Application: Alabama Power Company seeks approval

Specifically, at the Lay Development the licensee proposes to complete 
turbine refurbishment of the two turbines, stator coil replacement, 
wicket gate system rehabilitation, greaseless gate stem bushings 
installation, turbine and generator bearing refurbishment, and related 
component upgrades. For the Bouldin Development, the licensee proposes 
complete turbine refurbishment, stator coil replacement, wicket gate

since the units are generator-limited, the installed capacity at the 
Lay and Bouldin developments will not change. The unit replacements at 
the Lay Development would provide approximately 13.6 percent increase 
in energy output, and the current full gate flow of 5,770 cubic feet 
per second (cfs) is expected to remain the same, plus or minus 15 
percent. The unit replacement at the Bouldin Development would provide 
approximately 5 percent increase in energy output, and the current full
